The correct way for the Uchiha to rise

"Still refining chakra? Don't you know your own condition? If you continue, not only will your strength not improve, but your body will also collapse, and you won't be able to cultivate for half a month!"

"No! I'm fine!"

Rope Tree roared as it rose from the ground, a sudden surge of power emanating from its body.

A hint of surprise flashed in Tsunade's eyes.

"This is... a celestial body?"

The Senju clan does not possess a bloodline limit; even Hashirama Senju's Wood Release was something he "cultivated himself." However, they inherited the Sage of Six Paths' physique, also known as the Sage's Body.

Unlike bloodline limits, the Sage Body possesses similar effects. It grants the Senju clan powerful regenerative abilities and a chakra reserve far exceeding that of ordinary people. While it cannot match the Uzumaki clan's Sage Body's advantage in chakra reserves, it is still far greater than that of ordinary ninjas.

However, this was only a passive response.

A true immortal body requires awakening.

However, very few members of the Senju clan are able to awaken this ability.

Of course, more often than not, their need in this area is not significant. Or perhaps they've simply chosen the wrong direction.

The Senju clan already possesses a vast amount of chakra, so they don't need to actively strive for awakening the Sage Body. Their bottlenecks are more often related to their mastery of ninjutsu. For example, Tobirama Senju had an extraordinary pursuit of jutsu.

As for the Sage Body, I'm more inclined towards destiny. If I can awaken it, I will; if not, so be it. Anyway, I already have enough chakra.

However, this does not mean that the awakening of the immortal body is ineffective.

The body of an immortal, the body of an immortal.

This signifies an awakening of the body's cells and a powerful ability to absorb natural energy.

With the increase in chakra, the body's recovery speed and other aspects also greatly increased.

Even though he had just awakened, Nawaki's injuries had already improved to some extent, and his chakra had also increased.

Nawaki had no clear ninja way; his life was a series of interruptions.

He died at the age of twelve, and although he was resurrected later, there was ultimately a break in his connection with both friends and family.

Before he died, he was an ambitious young man determined to become Hokage. After being resurrected, he fell into confusion and bewilderment.

He's not stupid.

He also learned a lot of information from the files he sorted out.

The dream of becoming Hokage has been questioned.

However, he didn't say these things out loud, keeping them to himself and suffering alone.

Because he lacked a firm belief in his ninja way and even fell into confusion about life, Nawaki's strength naturally stagnated. Even with the added advantage of his physical talent, he could only barely reach the level of an elite Jonin.

After that, there was no further improvement.

Logically speaking, if things continue like this without resolving the issue of ninja way, he will not be able to improve further, at least not to the Kage level. However, today, he awakened the Sage Body.

As the grandson of Hashirama Senju, Nawaki's bloodline is quite pure, and his awakened Sage Mode body is also quite complete.

With just the added benefits of his immortal body, he might be able to reach the Kage level after adapting.

However, that's only after you get used to it.

After being shocked by Nawaki's awakening for a moment, Tsunade immediately appeared in front of Nawaki and slapped him.

Rope Tree wanted to do more, but there was no escaping it. He had already reached his limit. Although he had awakened the Immortal Body, there were some things he had to conserve. His spirit had become stronger, but it had also reached its limit.

If he rests for a while and slowly absorbs energy to recover, he can indeed become much stronger, but right now, he can only watch helplessly as Tsunade slaps him down.

Immediately afterwards, Rope Tree's world was plunged into darkness.

"So what if you've awakened, brat?"

After knocking Nawaki unconscious, Tsunade checked him and found that he was indeed unconscious, then began to examine his body.

Well, just to see if he overexerted himself.

The back mountain of Konoha.

Hui looked in the direction of the Senju clan and fell into thought.

The Konoha Kage-level ninjas are all in the village right now, and he hasn't activated his mental perception, so he doesn't know exactly what happened. However, he could sense that there seemed to be an aura coming from the Senju clan.

A tremendous life force!

Yet it also revealed a sense of weakness.

"Is this... the awakening of an immortal body?"

Based on what was known, Hui quickly deduced the truth of the matter.

He resurrected Rope Tree, so how could he not know the situation?

At that time, Nawaki's body was specially cultivated by the original body. Although he was not randomly fused with any Hashirama cells, he was infused with a large amount of life force, so that his life force was always at a saturated level.

This was his gift to the rope tree.

Saturated life force should be effective in stimulating the awakening of the Sage Body. Uchiha Kiyoshi's research on Hashirama's cells back then was not without results.

The "Immortal Body" is a transformation at the cellular level, a transformation of the body's ability to respond to natural energy or its vitality.

Stimulating it with powerful vitality is sure to work.

Sure enough, not long after, the rope tree awakened.

Including the war period, it was only a little over two years, less than three years.

Of course, it is short in some ways, but also quite long in others.

"Rope Tree is still a bit underwhelming, sigh, he must have been slacking off again. But, awakening is a good thing."

Hui is now waiting for Rope Tree to go and find soil and stones.

When the time comes, we can trick the First Hokage's grandson into joining the Sage Organization, and then when we unify the country, Konoha will be easy to deal with.

The Fourth Hokage was Minato Namikaze, and the Fifth Hokage would be Nawaki...

This is what my Immortal Organization said!

Chapter 378 The Uchiha Clan's Actions

Hui wasn't too surprised by Rope Tree's awakening. After all, he had given him a boost, making his life force so abundant. If Rope Tree still couldn't awaken, then he really had to question the nature of his bloodline.

Its vitality is also good, otherwise, after such a long period of intense training, the rope tree would have been ruined long ago, and it would still be jumping around there.

You gave him the chance to do it, wouldn't you say?

A budget version of Meteor Tears.

"Rope Tree has awakened, and it's estimated that it will be able to advance to the Kage level in a short time. It will advance directly based on its strength. Although its will might have some issues, that's not a problem. As long as it joins the Immortal Organization and finds its life goal, it can resolve everything."

At that time, the rope tree might even experience a period of rapid growth!

Hui briefly recounted the events surrounding Nawaki, then turned his gaze towards the Uchiha clan.

"It's time for the Uchiha to make their move."

There is no doubt that the Uchiha clan is not well-liked in Konoha.

There haven't been any negative comments about the Uchiha clan yet, but that doesn't prove anything.

If the true nature of things remains unchanged, problems will inevitably arise sooner or later.

The succession of the Hokage is the biggest problem.

It sounds nice to say that everyone has a chance, but in reality, they're all part of the Naruto lineage.

The second generation is the younger brother of the first generation; the third generation is the disciple and guard of the second generation; and the fourth generation is the grand-disciple of the third generation...

Minato Namikaze, who will soon take the throne, may have a completely different attitude towards the Uchiha clan than the Third Hokage, but what will happen afterward?

They've already formed a faction, and the existence of the Hokage faction, if left to accumulate, will inevitably become a malignant tumor. There will always come a generation that fears the Uchiha clan, and that will be the beginning of the Uchiha's annihilation.

Of course, it's unknown how long that will take.

The Uchiha clan has no future in Konoha.

Madara Uchiha, who was promised the title of the next Hokage when the village was founded, failed to become the second Hokage. Kagami Uchiha, who was a member of the Second Hokage's guard, died unexpectedly at a young age...

If you can't become Hokage, then you have no future.

Konoha's system dictates that the Hokage holds absolute power. If the path to the highest position is severed, what future is there?

Even an ordinary person has hope!

The Uchiha clan at this moment.

Following Fugaku Uchiha's notification, a group of newcomers have been quietly transferred out and entered the Sage Academy.

They will serve as pioneers, paving the way for the Uchiha clan within the Sage Organization.

At the same time, they are also the spark.

It is the last hope.

"Alas, back when Konoha was founded, even the name of the village was chosen by the head of my Uchiha clan. I never imagined that now, my Uchiha clan would be the first to be ostracized."

Among them, the second and third generations deserve the most credit.

Guard troops.

This is no small power; it's the organization responsible for the defense of the entire village. Its power is arguably the highest below the Hokage. Even the elders might not have as much power as the entire guard unit.

Of course, the relationship of mutual constraint is even stronger.

The Second Hokage established the Guard Force, elevating the Uchiha clan to a higher status. The Third Hokage then established the Elders to balance the power of the Guard Force.

It's fair to say that these two truly understand how to wield power.

"Kiyoshi, I'm leaving them to you." Fugaku Uchiha said with emotion as he looked at the children.

"Do not worry."

The sound of earth and stones came from behind.

The sudden appearance of the earth and rocks caught Fugaku Uchiha off guard, and he was almost startled into retaliating.

Fortunately, he held back.
